“Schools have a huge part in it. When I was in school, they had a boys’ rugby team but not a girls’ team. It was touch rugby so I thought I could join the lads and I was told, ‘no, you can’t’. I was told girls don’t like playing rugby. If I’d listened to that I might never had gone to my local club, so it really does impact young girls and kids in school. Now more people are seeing the game for what it is.”
